The Lost City of Tryon
Along Irondequcit Creek which runs through Indian landing lies remnants of a 18th century community. Outside Rochester, New York sits the lost city of Tryon. This 18th and early 19th-century settlement in the modern day Brighton and Penfield, was once central to fur trading networks. The ground of Tryon sits within the modern day Ellison, Tryon, and Lucian Moran parks as well as on the surrounding private land on the Irondequoit Bay. It is an important part of the history of Western New York and the Genesee valley whose narrative has widespread implications for the larger national narrative.
